Power Plants

"When a power plant goes online there’s no better feeling in the world. Especially in remote areas where it makes a real difference to community life."

Powering everyday life

Without electricity, factories couldn’t operate, hospitals couldn’t offer lifesaving operations and communities wouldn’t be able to power essential facilities. We help to keep services like these running by deploying our rental power plants to:

Support developing regions while local governments and utilities build their own power plants.

Respond swiftly if natural disasters leave local communities without power for essential services.

Bring power to hard to reach, or inhospitable, locations such as offshore, high altitudes and deserts.

So when you need power for your community, you can count on us.

Custom power plants that meet your needs

When you need to run a large-scale operation, or power an entire city, there’s lot of complex criteria to consider.

Because we design, build and run our power plants, our technicians can install a multi-megawatt plant within weeks. We’ll start by working with you to find the best location for your plant. We’ll consider environmental and local regulations and create detailed plans, including 3D modelling of the proposed site.

We can also take care of any civil works, if needed – levelling the ground, building roads, putting in drainage and laying fuel lines. What’s more, we always put safety first and work to the strictest standards around the world. When we build a power plant we supply everything, including:

In addition to setting up your plant, we can also employ and train local people to run the site, if needed. And once it’s time to remove the power plant, we’ll decommission the equipment, remove it from your site and leave everything clean and clear.

Supplement your existing power supply

Sometimes, the demand on your utility can exceed the supply – particularly in rapidly developing regions. You can rent equipment to make up the shortfall until the utility can meet your supply needs. We can:

Install distributed power generation systems

Supply power when your plant is down for maintenance

Apply peak shaving to reduce exposure to high market prices

Support you during infrastructure upgrades by powering areas not yet connected to the grid

Plug the gap when renewable energies can’t generate enough power to meet demand – such as hydropower plants during droughts or wind farms during storm season

We can run our plants in grid mode, to supply power to your grid, or we can work in island mode to supply power directly to one area, such as a remote mining operation or an oil field. We can run our generators using the fuel source you already have in place – saving you money.
